Backyard Fence

Happy Father’s Day!

————

My family went to a baseball game at my father’s army post, Fort Sill, when I was little. We sat behind a man with a  toupee. I stared and stared at the man with curiosity. Finally, I ran my fingers over the top of his head and brushed the toupee off. 

I was still a toddler when my father put up a wire grid fence in the backyard. The fence was supposed to keep me from roaming. Just as he was finishing the job, he noticed me crawling over the fence.
